Matching Grant
Program
The NCPI Matching Grant program has been instituted to provide donors and recipients with a method to reduce the overall fund raising cost for individual schools, whether public or private.
When available, a donor’s $ 8,500 contribution can be made to two (2) schools rather than just one, where each school need only to raise the additional $ 4,250. To assist with that effort NCPI has developed fund raising opportunities.

DONORSHIPS and GRANTS
That Acquire Bronze Original Replica Plaque Sets of
The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights
for Placement in America’s Schools
“What’s great about having these documents in our main hall is that everybody who walks through the hall, this will be community members and other patrons, as well as the parents of our students will get to see these documents each and every day. So in a way they are going to be resources that they’ll be able to access at any point and teachers will be able to bring students down when they have questions about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights and they will actually be able to touch these documents.” Art Raymond, Principal, Moody Middle School, Richmond, VA
President Ronald Reagan’s vision
was to place these bronze plaque replicas in schools across America.
With your charitable contributions we can achieve that goal and
bring these foundations of American history and an educational
component to our students and their communities.
